Property Reference


This chapter contains brief descriptions of all the properties of the video input object and the properties of the video source object that are common to all video source objects. Video source objects can also support device-specific properties that vary depending on the image acquisition hardware. To get help on these device-specific properties, use the imaqhelp function, specifying the video source object as an argument.

Video Source Objects

Video input objects create one or more video source objects that represent the image acquisition data sources. The following table lists the properties common to all video source objects.

ParentIdentify video input object that is parent of video source object
SelectedIndicate whether video source object will be used for acquisition
TagSpecify descriptive text to associate with image acquisition object
TypeIdentify type of image acquisition object
